SPAIN HAS NO ALLIES. HER OVERTURES TO EUROPE FOR AID WERE ALL REJECTED. Slu* Recognize* That Attaint In Cuba Have Reached a Crisis- Making a Desperate Effort to Save the I'earl of tlie Antilles. De I.ome In Disfavor. NEW YORK, NOV. IS.—Don Fernando Rodriguez, The Journal's Madrid corre spondent, cables the following: The phenomenal success of the new Spanish loan has excited unbounded enthu siasm here, and at no time since the Cuban war broke out has patriotism been at such a white heat. The language of the press is so trenchant and resolute that it is clear every one feels that the country is approaching—nay, al ready has approached—the great crisis in its destinies. Spain's eyes are now fully open to the fact that the Cuban campaign has entered on its last decisive phase. Much has happened during the progress of the American election campaign. It was in August that the Duke of Tetuan drew up a memorandum to lay before the Eu ropean powers, giving a full account of the Cuban question and the entire relations ljotween Spain and the United States. It was thought that there was nothing in it to give offense to Americans. Its object was to show that moral and material support had been given to the in surgents by Americans despite the correct attitude of the American government. Its deepest purpose was to have Europe exor cise a pressure on the United States to ob tain a stricter neutrality. No Help In All Kurnpe. Minister Taylor beard the paper read, and his instant and linn objection to it lod to the abandonment of the project, but it is known now that Spain has been feeling the pulse of ever chancellery in Europe to find blood that beat with hers. There is none. Franco is tied up with Russia, and Russia is America's friend. Germany's commercial interest and Eng land's policy keep both from siding with Spain. Italy goes with England, and Spain is left to go alone. A dozen public utterances by such lead ers as Canovas, Sagasta, Si 1 vela and A/.car raga, minister of war, have established the fact that those statesmen have been pre paring against two dreaded events—a fail ure of crops at home and the recognition of the Cuban belligerents by Cleveland's successor. Two months ago it was pointed out that up to that time Spain had yielded to all American demands, no matter how unjust they seemed to Spain. This course has been adopted in consid eration of Cleveland's policy favoring Spain, but the moment the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents is proclaimed from the White House, Spanish public opinion, which lias been with difficulty restrained, will burst all bounds. Preparing For "Eventualities." It was Canovas who declared that "the extraordinary credits asked for from par liament were needed because it was neces sary to place the country in a position to answer possible offenses against the na tional dignity.'' In asking for the grant of the present loans he said that most of this money would bo spent in preparing the country for possible eventualities. At that time, and even since, Spain anticipated these eventualities by hastening to Increase her navy with Ironclads of 11,000 tons and with cruisers and gunboats ordered abroad. However, this was the outburst of two months ago and was not hoard in the 1 nitod States because of the deafening noise of the presidential election. Now it finds its echo in America, and Spain, in her turn, is comparatively silent, though very active in preparing fur Cuno vas' "eventualities." Spaniard* Self Confident. Reading the Spanish papers now, one is struck by the entire and absolute trust shown in the country itself single handed and by the utter silence respecting extra neous aid. The reason for this is clear. In spite of the rather imprudent efforts which a certain portion of the press re cently made to set up the idea that steps had been in progress tending toward col lective action by European powers in order to hinder American intervention in Cuba, the majority of Spaniards cherish no illu sions on the subject. They feel quite convinced that in this respect only plutonic sympathies can be counted on. No European power would quarrel with the great American republic in order to maintain Spanish domination in the Antilles. The Madrid press, however, is generally regarded as representing the sentiments of the Spanish nation when it alleges that nothing serious is to be feared before the 4th of March, when McKinley takes pos session of the White House. Every Spanish newspaper now admits that at a given moment, if the Cuban in surreetion drags on and does not take a turn very favorable for the mother coun try, it is quite, within the bounds of pos sibility that the United States may inter vene. Hence, everything possible that can be done by Spain will Ins done before March 4. If the Cubans Can llold Out. But if the Cubans can hold out till then they will win much, and possibly every thing. At the same time the Spanish gov eminent knows that, the Washington au thorities would be perfectly willing to use their efforts to bring about a cessation of the war if Spain would grant Cuba and PuFto Rico the measure of self government the inhabitants desire; in other words, ad ministrative economic autonomy. This makes the Spanish inclined to sneer at American "disinterestedness." There seems to be no chance yet of Spain's weakening, the issue, "War to the bitter end," having been put to the nation, which seems resolved on any und all saeri iiecs. Nothing better exemplifies tin* situation than a colossal picture in El Liberal of queenlike Spain proudly throwing all her most cherished valuables into the smelting pot while Mars molds the bullets, and away across the Atlantic sail the ironclads of Castile. "Blood and money" is the watchword of Spanish patriots. Gnrorul Weyler has opened his personal campaign, people think, auspiciously. All Ep n now following his every step in b*rithlss anxiety. May lie Called Home. WASHINGTON, NOV. 17.—Reports that Minister de Lome is to l)e recalled are again in c* * -hition. It is said there is dissatisfaction In Spain with his services at Washington and that he is held respon sible for permitting the insurgents to re ceive this summer and fall large supplies of guns, cartridges and men. The unfor innate Spaniard has repeatedly denied statements affecting his continuance as minister to the United States, but iu the excited condition of affairs at Madrid nofch ing need create the slightest surprise. It is remembered that General Campos was recalled from Havana because he did not end the revolution with 100,000 troops and that Weyler was sent to succeed him. There is no reason therefore why Senor do Lome, who is every bit as competent as General Campos, although in a different sphere, should not he made a scapegoat to deceive the excited and enraged Spaniards. General Weyler now has 200,000 troops in Cuba and he has made no more head way than Campos. A successor to De Lome will be able to do less than he. There is not the least doubt that repre sentations have IJCOII made to President Cleveland which promise the capture of Maceo and the destruction of bis little army before the Christmas holidays. This pledge, of course, includes Gomez's defeat, but no one familiar with Cuban topogra phy and the resources of the insurgents hus any expectation of a Spanish victory. Advices from trustworthy sources say that Weyler has been pushed to the front by ominous threats from his home govern ment that unless he accomplished some thing by the time the American congress assembled he would lie removed. Such a performance may stay the recognition of Cuban belligerency for awhile, but it also will develop just what Weyler cannot do. It seems incomprehensible to the Spanish minds that their troops in overwhelming numbers, equipped with tin 4 best of arms and supplied with Held telegraph and a well stocked commissary, cannot corner a poorly supplied lot of patriots, exhausted by continuous marching and fighting. The last heard from Maceo represented him confident of being able to out maneuver the Spanish forces and ready, through the improved condition of his men, who have ammunition in plenty, to give the enemy battle. He promises before another rainy season comes around to drive Weyler out of Pinar del Rio back into Havana and to demonstrate to the civilized world that the Cuban cause is invincible. It is understood t hat Maceo and Gomez are trying to effect a junction in the dis tricts of Remedios, which means that Maceo must surprise the trocha and cut his way through. Whatever happens must bo to the advantage of the insurgents, as they have a lively comprehension of the necessity of continuing their peculiar style of warfare until the next administration in Washington. They believe also that if they can achieve some signal success by attacking the Spanish soldiers, the con gress which is to meet in Washington on Dec. 7 may compel the present adminis tration to act. Maeeo In Good Shape. NF.W YORK, NOV. 17.—When so well in formed a man as F. G. Picrra, ex secretary of the Pan American congress and a mem ber of the Cuban junta, says that Spain will, as a last resort, go to war with the United States, there is reason in the gov ernment's present preparation for that emergency. Being asked to give his views on the state of affairs in Cuba, and the probable outcome of General Weyler's assumption of the jjersonal eonunundof Spanish forces in the Held in Pinar del Rio, Mr. Pierra suid substantially: "Not since hostilities began has the Cu ban army under Maceo been so well equip ped. so well disciplined or so well provi sioned as at this time. Maoco has ample ammunition for tlie present and has been so long in possession of the strongholds west of the Trocha Muriel—the western most trocha on the island—that he has completed a system of defenses which are impregnable to Weyler. "Large quantities of dynamite have liecn safely delivered to Maceo, and should the Spaniards succeed in crossing one of Ma ceo's subterra obstructions they would have gained practically nothing by the loss of men which would inevitably fol low. 'J'here are many of these subterra obstructions, and no force which General Weyler can command will succeed in cross ing all of them, and unless all be crossed nothing of vital injury to the patriot army will have been done." "Do you believe, Mr. Picrra, that Spain would have the temerity to make war on the United States?" "Whenever Spain has been unable to hold one of her colonies after a relxjllion she lias preserved her honor,' as they say, by bringing on a quarrel with some other power, and that will be her course when she finds it impossible to continue the war in Cuba." Gould to Flglif Diamond Match Company. CHICAGO, NOV. 18.—Edwin Gould has purchased the furniture factory of the Kankakee Furniture company at Kanka kee, Ills., fur the Continental Match com puny, and he proposes to enter actively into competition with the Diamond Match company in the west. The announcement of the purchase of the Kankakee plant was made last night, and incidentally Mr. Gould had some things to say regarding the Diamond Match company and its offi cials.

The question is one of great interest to persons interested in the nianu- ! faeture of hats, furniture, patent modi- ! cities, compounds, perfumery and other ; articles, and the committee is very desir- j ous that the many and important indus tries of the country which would be lieno- Hted or injured by the use of alcohol free of tax shall present their views to the com mittee in order that it may intelligently I report to congress at tile coining session. j The committee is composed of the fol lowing members: Senators Piatt, chair man; Aldrich and James K.

There were formerly four of these ! herds on the Kwril islands, north of Japan. We were on the islands. These herds were there five or six years ago, but are gone The Northern lloiuidary Line. WASHINGTON, NOV. IHS It is quite prob able that provision will be made in the coming session of congress for a boundary commission to determine the divisional line between Minnesota and Manitoba. Representative Heatwolo reported from the foreign affairs committee in the last house a resolution providing for such a commission. The dispute is over a tract known as Hunters island and hinges on whether the main channel of the Rainy Lake river runs north or south of the is land. It has been suggested that the Alas kan boundary dispute may bo coupled with that of Minnesota and an amendment offered to the Heatwolo resolution provid ing that the same commission shall deter mine the Alaskan boundary. Objection is made to this by the Minnesota men, who say that it will lie difficult to determine the ownership of Hunters island, while the dispute of Alaska might engage the commission a longtime, to the delay of the other question. Coinage of Silver Dollar*.

ViNEZUELA DISPUTE. 1 &rm* of Settlement Agreed Upon by the United States and Fiiglsnd. LONDON, NOV. 16.—Tho Chronicle this morning publishes a summary of tho agreement for tho settlement of tho Vene zuelan boundary dispute between the United States and Great Britain, adding merely, "This momentous news reaches us too late for editorial comment." The agreement us published by The Chronicle is very short, covering only two pages of printed matter. There are four separate heads to tho agreement. The first head provides for the appoint ment of an arbitration tribunal to deter mine tho boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana. The second head provides for tho ap pointment of a tribunal consisting of two to be nominated by the justices of the su preme court of the United States, two to be nominated by the British supreme court and fiflh, a jurist, to be selected by the other four. In the event of their fail ure to agree, Oscar 11, king of Sweden and Norway, is to select the fifth member. This fifth mom!)cr may bo a judge of the said courts, and he will preside over the tribunal us its head. Tho third head of the agreement directs that the tribunal shall investigate all the facts necessary to decide the controversy as to the extent* of territory known to lie long respectively to the United Nether lands and to Spain at the date Great Britain acquired Guiana The fourth head provides that the ar biters shall ascertain all the facts neces sary to arrive at a proper decision and shall Ix) governed in their findings by three short rules, the most important of which provides that actual holdings, or a prescription of 50 yours, shall make good the title. The arbiters are empowered to give effect to settlers' rights. In establish ing facts the ordinary rules of law shall prevail. The agreement is dated Nov. 12 and is signed by Mr. Olney and Sir Julian Pauneefoto. The agreement will lie the basis of a treaty to be concluded between Groat Britain and Venezuela—in fact, it will be a treaty in itself, only requiring clauses to be added relating to tho procedure, the compensation of mouthers of the tribunal and other minor routin^inuttcrs. Tho Chronicle lias a dispatch from Washington which says that Mr. Olney has urged Senor Andrade, the Venezuelan j minister there, to go to Caracas to get i President Crespo and the Venezuelan con- ' gross to accept the agreement. This dis patch also says that Mr. Olney advised the resumption of diplomatic relations with Great Britain by Venezuela. Itla/.o at lleverly.

NO TARIFF THIS YEAR SENATOR ALDRICH OF RHODE ISLAND GIVES HIS VIEWS. Tolls Why Neither Tariff Nor Currency Hill* Will Pass Congress This Winter. Says That Revenue Is the All Impor tant I oiiHlilerution. PROVIDENCE, Nov. 18.—Senator Nelson IV. Ald rich, who is regarded us one of the highest Republican authorities on the | tariff in the United States senate, fur nishes a signed statement to a New York paper in which he says: la my judgment it will hardly be possi | bio to secure the adoption of any satisfac ! lory financial or revenue legislation at tho j approaching second session of the Fifty ; fourth congress. My reasons arc these: | First.—With a free silver majority in the senate it must be evident that noreme | dial financial legislation that would satis fy tho advocates of sound money can be adopted. | Second.—ln the senate of 89 members there are 39 Democrats, 0 Populists and ' |he 6 silver senators who supported Mr. Bryan—or 51 senators in all who have | licen, and arc likely to be, with a very few j possible exceptions, opposed to the Dingloy I bill or to any ixmtnuv legislation that would have the appiovnl of the 38 Repub lican senators. The possibility of securing an adjust ment of the differences between senators on this question is so remote that I believe it may IHJ safely assumed that any attempt to pass a tariff or revenue bill, or even to enter upon its serious consideration at I this season would bo unsuccessful, i In this connection It should be remem- I Ix-red that the session will contain barely 59 working days, and that the considera tion of tho appropriation and other noces lary bills will absorb every available day. Most Important Toplta. The question of tho precise character of the legislation on these two great subjects that should lx adopted at the first, session of the Fifty-fifth congress is by far tho j most important one with which the mem bers of that congress will have to deul. The future of the Republican party may depend largely upon the measure of wis dom shown by the responsible majority in its treatment of this question. The details of party policy in this resjxjct can only bo decided upon and announced after the most careful consideration and fullest con sultation. In the meantime in a general way the obligations and purposes of the party are fully understood. It should not be forgotten by those sup porters of the president elect who have heretofore differed from us on tho tariff question that Republicans are protection ists by the explicit plcdgcsof platform and candidates and by tho traditional policy of the party, and as such are bound by every consideration of fidelity to tho American people to apply their principles to any changes which may be made in revenue laws. No amendments to our tariff laws, bow ever, should bo made unless necessary to cure defects or to provide the requisite revenue. The task of amendments should bo en tered upon in a spiritof true conservatism and with a determination to make tho needed changes as soon as possible and in a manner which will create the least dis turbance to business interests.
